Yes. Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis can have PRP injections to the face. Depending on your medications, you may be at risk for increased bruising post-procedure, but it will resolve after a few days. Cheers from Dallas!
Rheumatoid arthritis should not be a contraindication to using PRP for injection into face or scalp.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself All-star
Thank you for your question! Rheumatoid arthritis should have no affect on the outcome of a PRP treatment! PRP is often coupled with microneedling. Microneedling is a great option for scars, though typically multiple treatments are needed. Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. Through this process there is improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks. I would recommend a consultation with a provider in your area to better assess the scars in person as well!
Thank you for your question and pictures. It is very normal to see swelling immediately after PRP injections around the eyes. It can take up to 2 weeks to completely settle. I would suggest continuing to ice the area, use a longer acting antihistamine such as Certrizine and sleep...
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. It is often referred to as liquid gold due to the color of it as well as the quality of the immune and growth factors contained within it.
Good afternoon and thank you for your question!Receiving PRP treatments in two different locations on the same body is perfectly fine and will not have any affect on the treated areas/healing process.Have a nice day.
